The district includes the neighbourhoods of Yaletown, the West End, Coal Harbour, Downtown Vancouver, western Stratcona and eastern Kitsilano. The riding has a diverse, multi-generational demographic. Retirees, young families and middle-aged working professional share its sidewalks, cafes, restaurants and community centres.

The 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution concluded that the electoral boundaries of Vancouver Centre should be adjusted, and a modified electoral district of the same name will be contested in future elections.[2] The redefined Vancouver Centre loses a portion of its current territory from its southern end to the new district of Vancouver Granville. These new boundaries were legally defined in the 2013 representation order, which will come into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 2015.[3]
